Senate Decisions Could Put Lindsey Graham's Seat At Risk

It seems Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has done his best in recent weeks to get as much ink as possible, talking about things that play well with the conservatives in his home state of South Carolina, like Benghazi and gun rights.

Graham also held up the nomination of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary to get more answers about what happened in Benghazi, even as he admitted Hagel had nothing to do with it. But his opposition might have more to do with home state politics than the nomination itself.

Republican senators who have shown moderate leanings have been hit with primary challenges from the right recently, and while no serious challenger has emerged yet in South Carolina, there are a whole lot of people hoping one does ...

2. I would love to see Graham's

whining ass go down. I would prefer a good democrat but since this is SC I will take a rebup teanut from his own party.. This should happen to his buddy Mccain too.

5. Graham's as unreasonable and obstructionist now as any teabagger who would replace him, so

I truly hope the state of SC reaches deep into its bag of nuts for this race and picks a winner to replace him. I say, let the Party Of Stoopid reach new levels of crazy and dumb.

8. Afraid of doing the correct things for this country because of being primaried?? A true statesman

that the forefathers would be proud of. The Rs who keep mentioning the constitution are full of shit. The forefathers would never
be afraid of doing the correct thing for this country.
